BRIDE GIAS Low-Max

Reclining kevlar seat, should fit well in the RX7 given it's low height. Retails for $1700 and change, anyone have a street price on these puppies? Are there any vendors on the forum that can get these?

Cheaper than RZ seats though, and probably a bit more practical and comfortable. I heard Sparco has a reclining carbon seat now (not the Enzo seats).

Yes, I saw a picture in a magazine for the new Sparcos. Unfortunately, I can't recall what magazine, though I think that it was a picture from SEMA...

Now we just need a bleeding-edge Floridian to buy one of the new Brides and one of the new Sparcos, fit them in his CLR powered FD, and provide a nice review with professional photos. Hmmm, who could we get...

I've looked into getting these since the passenger probably doesn't need to be sitting in the same position as the driver. They are definatley nice seats.

Too bad, but www.tees-usa.com doesn't list the dimensions for these seats. I do know that the XaxIIs that I have in my FD are a crazy tight fit. I mean they barely fit. These look like they're kind of wide. Guess we won't know until we get some measurements.

I saw them in an Options magazine that had the measurements and taking into account the measurements of the shoulder area of the FD, they will fit with an inch or two to spare I believe, if I remember correctly. But I know they'll fit and being tall I'm considering getting some still. At least one anyway.

Jason,
I'm sure you know of some places that have them in stock but we all are not fortunate enough to live in Japan I've decided to get me a set.

Well if you guys want to set a donation fund for me, I'll be happy to experiment and continue to push the "bleeding edge". It's a tough job, but someone has to do it

One.

These are carbon fiber shelled reclinable seats, guys. You want cheaper seats, look at fiberglass shelled seats.

So far that's the cheapest place I've seen them for sale, better get them before the sale ends

Has anyone tried sitting in one? I've tried a few Bride seats and some of them have the shoulder things too close and its hard to turn the steering wheel.
